Flower Delivery Romford Modern Slavery Statement

Our Stance Against Modern Slavery

Flower Delivery Romford firmly opposes all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Romford, we recognize our duty to operate with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights across our business and supply chains.

Zero Tolerance Policy

We maintain an unambiguous zero tolerance approach to modern slavery. This extends not only to our direct operations, but also to our suppliers and business partners. All staff, management, and partners are expected to uphold these standards and take reasonable steps to prevent and address any instances of exploitation or unethical conduct. Breaches of this policy are taken extremely seriously and may result in disciplinary action or termination of business relationships.

Supplier Due Diligence

Our suppliers play an essential role in helping us deliver fresh, beautiful floral arrangements to our clients. Before forming any supplier relationships, we conduct thorough due diligence to evaluate their labour practices and ethical standards. Suppliers must provide evidence of their working conditions, employee rights, and compliance with applicable anti-slavery laws. We give preference to those who can demonstrate clear policies and positive track records in safeguarding their workers.

Ongoing risk assessments are carried out for existing suppliers, with a focus on areas where there is a higher risk of forced labour or exploitation within the floristry and horticulture sectors. Any concerns raised will be investigated promptly and thoroughly.

Staff Training and Awareness

We believe that awareness is key to identifying and preventing modern slavery. All Flower Delivery Romford staff receive training on recognising the signs of exploitation and understanding their responsibilities in maintaining a respectful, safe workplace. Regular refreshers are provided to reinforce knowledge and maintain vigilance. Our training covers the relevant legal frameworks, company policies, and real-world scenarios that may be encountered within the sector.

Reporting Channels

We encourage all employees, suppliers, and partners to report any suspicions or incidents of modern slavery, unethical conduct, or breaches of policy. We provide dedicated, confidential reporting channels and ensure that all reports are acted upon promptly and sensitively. We guarantee that anyone who makes a report in good faith will not face retaliation or adverse consequences.

Concerns and reports are handled by nominated officers, who are trained to investigate and escalate matters where necessary, ensuring that potential issues are addressed and remedial action is taken without delay.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement and our anti-slavery policies are reviewed annually by our leadership team. As a responsible Romford-based florist, we commit to keeping these documents and practices up to date with evolving laws, best practices, and emerging risks. We also welcome feedback from our staff, customers, and supply chain partners to enhance our approach in the fight against modern slavery.

Flower Delivery Romford is proud to serve our local community. We understand that maintaining a safe, fair, and ethical business is integral to our reputation and the trust placed in us by Romford households and businesses.
